They knew that they were getting a very valuable player. There was a myth that went around the because they bought his contract that the “ curse of bambino” would not let them win. The curse haunted the Yankees until 2004 where they won the world series. The Yankee’s on the other hand were very happy to have the Babe Ruth on there team. But Babe Ruth also was known for the things that he did off the field.
He decided to marry a 17 year old waitress and also had enough money to buy a very nice house for the both of them ( Schwartz 3) . The also adopted a daughter and raised her in there brand new home. Ruth could not handle a marriage and his fame in baseball, so the marriage ended. Even though they separated they remained married because of there beliefs ( Schwartz 3). His wife eventually died in a house fire, leaving him with his daughter. A couple of years later he married a actress/ model. …show more content…
In 5th inning, after he had already hit one homer, Babe came up to bat. He ran the count to two balls and two strikes ( Schwartz 2) . Before Cubs pitcher Charlie Root hurled the next pitch, amid the heckling of Cubs fans, Babe pointed to the center field bleachers. Then he slammed what is believed to be the longest home run ever hit out of Wrigley Field, right above where he pointed ( Schwartz 2).
Babe Ruth was so popular that even the USA’s enemies new him (Schwartz 2). This is the man who made baseball the national pastime, the kid who started out looking like a Hall of Fame left-handed pitcher with the Boston Red Sox who became a Hall of Fame left-handed hitting outfielder with the New York Yankees. He might of not been the fittest player but he made his presence known on the field and everywhere he went. He was a walking legend and he didn't even know
